Summary

Ever since its first publication in 1992,The End of History and the Last Manhas provoked controversy and debate. Francis Fukuyama's prescient analysis of religious fundamentalism, politics, scientific progress, ethical codes, and war is as essential for a world fighting fundamentalist terrorists as it was for the end of the Cold War. Now updated with a new afterword,The End of History and the Last Manis a modern classic.
